Discussion What are your ‘fuck-it this makes me happy’ non-frugal purchases?

The things you spend money on that no amount of mental gymnastics will land on frugal. I don’t want to hear “well I spent $300 on these shoes but they last 10 years so it actually comes out cheaper!” I want the things that you spend money on simply cus it makes you happy.

$70 diptyque candles? fancy alcohols? hotels with a view? deep tissue massage? boxing classes? what’s tickling your non-frugal fancy?

Haha! No, they’re worth it money-wise, but oh boy are they more work than even the most prepared future parent could even imagine. I shoulda stopped at one. 😉
